Howard Building Corporation

Project Description

This two building, 210,000 square foot tenant improvement and seismic upgrade project consisted of 150,000 square feet of office space, and 60,000 square feet of research and development space made up of lab and manufacturing areas.  The office build-out included a newly renovated elevator lobby and reception area, conference rooms, small meeting rooms, and a staff café.  The design featured acoustic ceiling panels throughout, and hard lid soffits in each of the offices.  Eight individual staircases were aesthetically refurbished, and two new staircases were also added.  The R&D space required specialized infrastructure to support delicate utilities and electronic devices used for manufacturing and testing purposes, as well as epoxy flooring in the laboratories.
